拿到 SIGGRAPH 2009 的 Advance Program 這本節目單，第一件事就是搜尋一下 stereoscopic（立體），心裏頭正嘀咕，想說應該就是 Bolt, Monsters vs. Aliens, NVidia Stereoscopic 3D 這三個主題會提到的吧。赫然發現，今年的 Computer Animation Festival 也有沾一點邊： ...

整理電腦的時候，發現 2005 6 月時拍的照片，那時借了郭秉的相機，想利用 image stitch 製作出一個 panorama 來。 換個角度看，就成了下圖：

Adventures in Animation 3D ，一部 2004 年，IMAX 規格，全 CG 立體動畫（Full CG 3-D animation），由 Pierre Lachapelle . 擔任導演（Director）兼製作人（Producer）（他同時擁有 dna research 這家開發了 3Delight 的公司）。 ...

如果，開發像上頭這張圖所呈現的視覺效果，是很容易，而且可以隨著人的藝術創造力而有不同的變化，並且使用在 3D 動畫裏頭也很順利且自然的話，那該是件多麼有趣的事…… ...

Today, people are able to tell stories by manipulating individual media artifacts and by composing media artifacts using modern technologies. However, these tools do not assist users in the plot development activity. Specifically, when a user tries to construct his/her story plot based on a media collection ( e.g., photos, videos, etc.), these tools cannot provide helpful information about the possible narratives. In this project we present a novel approach: “Storied Navigation”. In this mode of navigation, media segments are annotated using free text and stored as a collection. To tell a story, the user inputs a free text sentence, and the system suggests possible segments for a storied succession, which helps the users’ exploration in the domain of possible stories. This process iterates progressively. The system achieves the association between the input and the segments’ annotations using reasoning technique including WordNet and commonsense reasoning technology. We have conducted an initial evaluation on the appropriateness of this method, and we believe it is a promising first step towards the goal of making storytelling activities immersive, and enjoyable interactions.
